KIA Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab

Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab is a South African Pickup with a pickup body and diesel power.

The 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab is a current 2026 South African Tasman derivative priced at R679,995. Kia publishes a 1,123 kg payload, 3,500 kg braked and 750 kg unbraked towing limit, and 231 mm unladen ground clearance for this grade. It has no low range, so buyers expecting repeated loose-surface climbs should choose a 4WD grade rather than treating traction control as equivalent hardware. Payload is 1,123 kg, but that is not cargo alone: passengers, dealer accessories, tow-ball download and anything carried in the cabin or bed all consume it. 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab: R679,995 current published South African retail price. Five-seat double cab with front and rear USB-C charging; 265/65 R17 road tyres and the 8-inch display. Double-cab buyer prioritising work and towing on sealed roads, a published 3,500 kg braked tow rating and the exact payload of this derivative. The 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab has a clear place in the range: work and towing on sealed roads. The Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab is not best understood by one headline number. Its appeal comes from the interaction between an active listing, a South African price reference of R679,995 and engine of 2.2-litre Turbocharged Diesel. A proper look at the Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab begins with the local specification, then moves to the owner’s week. Here, Diesel power sits beside the base trim, while an active listing sets a practical boundary. Its appeal comes from the interaction between a Automatic transmission, Diesel power and the base trim for Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab. Those details decide whether it is an easy fit for work, delivery or fleet duty, or whether a nearby model with a different package would make more sense once the ownership budget is written down for Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab

Where the KIA Tasman Fits Best

A practical view of the buyer and roads this model is best suited to.

Who buys this

A shopper researching Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab should separate need from showroom appeal. The best buyer for Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab can describe a recurring reason for choosing its pickup layout. That may be the space for a family, the access needed for work or the cost of keeping a second vehicle for Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab. Start with passengers, cargo, parking, monthly kilometres and road surface for Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab. Then compare a Automatic transmission and Diesel power with insurance, tyres, maintenance and the monthly finance payment for Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab

City
Around town, Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab should be judged by repetition rather than a single burst of acceleration. The urban test for Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab should resemble the owner’s route: a cold start, queues, kerbs, a narrow turn and a place where people or goods must be loaded. The vehicle’s an active listing is only useful if access and visibility work in practice for Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab. Check the mirrors and camera yourself, and remember that short journeys, idling and heavy air-conditioning use can move fuel consumption away from the laboratory figure for Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab
Highway
Its derivative position is defined by 265/65 R17 road tyres and the 8-inch display. On a South African freeway or inter-city road, take the Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab out with the load it normally carries. A South African price reference of R679,995 gives context, but a number cannot show how engine of 2.2-litre Turbocharged Diesel feels on a gradient
Off-Road
Its 2,151 cc common-rail turbodiesel produces 154 kW at 3,800 rpm and 440 Nm from 1,750-2,750 rpm, driving through an eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. If the Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab will leave smooth tar, test the actual road rather than the image around it

KIA Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab — Should You Buy It?

4.3/5
2026 Kia Tasman 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab review
Hagalu editorial review by Hagalu Editorial Team · 2026-08-12

The 2.2D LX 2WD Double Cab is a current, clearly positioned Tasman at R679,995. Its 154 kW/440 Nm diesel, eight-speed automatic, rear-wheel drive, 1,123 kg payload and 7.5 L/100 km official combined claim are exact South African figures. 265/65 r17 road tyres and the 8-inch display explain the grade's role. A 3,500 kg braked tow limit and six-year/90,000 km service plan strengthen ownership value, while the large body and still-unproven long-term local resale are cautions. The rating assesses verified specification, price and buyer suitability; it is not a road-test claim and does not import an overseas trim.
